Synopsis

Master the fundamentals of infinite series with clear proofs and practical tests.

This edition explains convergence, divergence, and how to use series in computation, with carefully worked examples across the subject.

The text guides you from the basic idea of a limit of sums to concrete criteria you can apply. You’ll see how convergent and divergent series behave, learn classic tests, and explore introductory tools that underpin much of higher math.
  • Discover convergence criteria and how they apply to familiar series like geometric and harmonic series.
  • Learn key tests, including Direct Comparison and the Test-Ratio, with practical examples.
  • Study Taylor’s theorem, power series, and how series provide useful representations for functions.
  • Build problem-solving skill through exercises that illustrate limits, proofs, and applications.
Ideal for students beginning real analysis or calculus, and for anyone seeking a solid foundation in infinite series.
